After you've applied

Once you've applied for student funding, you can sign in to your online account to check your application's progress.

The 'Applications' section will show your status as 'new'.

The funding you've applied for is shown under 'Awards' as 'claimed'.

You cannot change your application once you've submitted it. But if you have a change of circumstances contact SAAS.

If you need to change course, you can do this in your SAAS Account. SAAS will create a new award notice once they process the change. 

Once your application has been processed

SAAS will:

  1. email you to let you know to check your online account
  2. send an 'award notice' to your online account

The award notice tells you how much funding you'll get and whether the funding will come from:

  • SAAS – for tuition fees, bursaries and grants
  • the Student Loans Company (SLC) – for student loans

Find out how to appeal if your application is unsuccessful on the SAAS website.
